Paolo Stefano Gentile designed the Pagina Collection for the Italian company Essent'ial. The brand created a range of bags and cases made from eco-friendly paper materials. Consumers can shop from a range of backpacks, notebooks, and pen and accessory cases.
All items in the collection are designed like paper: they include lined paper, notebook paper, and graph paper designs. The collection uses FSC-certified paper as its primary material, which indicates that it has been harvested responsibly for an eco-friendly construction. Even though the bags and cases are made from paper, the material is water-resistant. This allows users to easily wash their items when required without damaging the bag's construction. In addition, users can write on their bags to customize their designs, which can also be washed off with mild soap.
